Pankaj Tripathi marked his presence on The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 along with the entire cast members of his recently released film, Metro…In Dino. During an interaction with the host and comedian Kapil Sharma, he shared some hilarious insights from his personal and professional lives. One of the key highlights of the episode was the actor candidly talking about how his old friends react to his stardom and ask him about the process of filming intimate scenes.
Speaking to Kapil, the Mirzapur actor said, “Someone asked me a question a few years ago When you shoot an intimate scene, do they place a glass between the actor and the actress?’ Then I told them, That’s not true. Then he asked, ‘Really? Sachme chuu lete ho? (Do you really touch each other?)’ Then I said ‘Yes’.”
He added, “They aren’t from the industry, so they are unaware of what goes behind the camera. So they ask several questions. They also ask how actors bleed when a bullet is fired in an action scene.”
In addition to him, the episode also featured an ensemble cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Fatima Sana Shaikh and director Anurag Basu.
Pankaj also opened up about his love story with his wife Mridula Tripathi and said, “I don’t know much about romance because the only person I’ve ever fallen in love with was my wife and I married her. I am from Bihar and our romance quota is already quite low. However, I’m glad I got to marry the person I romanced with.”
Anupam Kher, Anurag Basu and others praised him for this. Ali Fazal immediately agreed with him, stating that he also married the person he loves and is grateful for it.
Metro…In Dino explores modern love and relationships across different age groups and cities, with a focus on themes of commitment, infidelity and second chances in a relationship.
Up next, Pankaj will be seen in the comedy-drama Parivarik ManuRanjan along with Aditi Rao Hydari. The film is directed by Varun V Sharma and produced by Vinod Bhanushali and Himanshu Mehra.
